What Is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of optimizing content so it can be directly understood, selected, and cited by answer engines such as:
-
Google AI Overviews (formerly SGE)
-
Featured snippets
-
Voice assistants (Google Assistant, Siri, Alexa)
-
Chat-based AI search tools
Instead of focusing only on rankings and clicks, AEO focuses on providing the best possible answer to a user’s question — clearly, accurately, and quickly.
